Our solutions
We offer a range of solutions to suit your needs:
Thermal surveys
-
We can determine if there is a thermal contrast in similar components – this can often be the precursor to equipment failure.
-
We identify high resistance joints before joint failure.
-
We uncover conductor problems, hot tower footings and earth wire continuity issues.
-
We highlight transformer, switchgear and bus bar problems where components show dissimilar hotspots (or cold spots where equipment has failed)
High definition condition assessments
-
We provide detailed condition assessment of towers, fittings and ancillary equipment including all spacers, conductors, insulators, joints, repairs, bonds, shoes, hangers, bolts, washers, split pins, and earth wire fittings.
-
We can produce high definition photography of steelwork that emphasise areas in need of painting and/or steelwork repair.
-
High definition condition assessment of overhead gantries and substation equipment.
-
Different surveys to monitor overhead lines and substations, including High Definition Condition Assessments and Thermal Survey techniques.
-
The results of both types of surveys are available to you through high definition imagery and summary reports.
